Republicans lie, cheat and steal their way to election wins, always undermining and staying two steps ahead of Dems. Republicans wouldn't think twice or feel badly about taking away any or all of my rights (I'm an African-American female, veteran) but all I've got to defend my rights are NICE, POLITE Dems!
Dems can motivate black, brown and poor voters by being vocal about raising the minimum wage, funding public schools, singing the praises/touting the benefits of a taxpayer-funded college education and boosting the pros of single-payer health care! That way Dems can run on more than just being pro-Impeachment or anti-Trump!
